Minaj makes it clear that she wants any conflict amongst Drake, Meek, Lil Wayne, and Cash Money label co-founder Bryan Williams to end already, saying, ‘‘It doesn’t make me feel good. You don’t ever want to choose sides between people you love. It’s ridiculous. I just want it to be over.’’

Writer Vanessa Grigoriadis presses on, though, asking Minaj if there is “a part of you that thrives on drama, or is it no, just pain and unpleasantness —” and Minaj retorts that the question is “disrespectful,” asking, ‘‘Why would a grown-ass woman thrive off drama? What do the four men you just named have to do with me thriving off drama?’’

As Grigoriadis tries to apologize, Nicki shuts it all down, telling her she was “rude” and a “troublemaker,” and finally ending the entire interview with “I don’t care to speak to you anymore.”
